A++ seller! Great communication and customer service. Prompt delivery. Item was as described other than a listing error by eBay, not the seller who went above and beyond when it was not necessary or expected, to make up for it. The CD and case were as described and had no issues. I would definitely trust this seller and purchase from him/her again. So appreciative of the customer service. Thank you!
